WARNING

DO NOT CONNECT 3/4" ID GREY HOSE IN REAR OF UNIT TO ANYTHING. THESE ARE VENT HOSES AND MUST BE ALLOWED TO DRAIN INTO PAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS PRESSURE RISE INSIDE OF THE STEAMER.

CAUTION

Do not locate unit adjacent to any high heat or grease producing piece of equipment, such as a range top, griddle, fryer, etc., that could allow radiant heat to raise the exterior temperature of the steam body above 130°F (54°C). DO NOT MOUNT ABOVE OTHER COOKING EQUIPMENT.

NOTICE

These installation procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be void.

Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection Association, Inc. states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are the “authority having jurisdiction” when it comes to installation requirements for equipment. Therefore, installations should comply with all local codes.

The unit, when installed, must be electrically grounded and comply with local codes, or in the absence of local codes with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition.

INSTALLATI ON

Canadian installation must comply with CSA-Standard (C22.2 No. 109-M1981 General Requirements-Canadian Electrical Code, Part II. 109-M1981) Commercial Cooking Appliances.

Step 1: Unpacking

IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE

All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has assumed responsibility for its safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either apparent or concealed, a claim must be made with the delivering carrier.

Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. The freight bill must then be signed by the carrier representative (Driver). If the bill is not signed, the carrier may refuse the claim. The carrier can supply the necessary forms.

A request for inspection must be made to the carrier within 15 days if there is concealed damage or loss that is not apparent until after the equipment is uncrated. The carrier should arrange an inspection. Be certain to hold all contents plus all packing material.

Step 3: Electric Connection

A field connection terminal block is located at the rear of the unit, lower left side. A hole is provided for a 3/4" conduit fitting (solid or flex). The rear cover must be removed to gain access to terminal block (see Figure 2).

Be sure that the input voltage matches the requirement on the serial plate. The unit is factory wired per customer order.

Field Conversions

You must check if the main power cord to the unit connects to a terminal block, This will reflect that your unit was built after 02F(June 30, 2002). Rewire heating element connection at the main contactor as per wiring schematic provided with the unit (inside control panel). If on the back of the unit there are fuses, reflecting that your unit was built before 02G ( July 1, 2002), use conversion kit .

WARNING

A POSITIVE GROUND CONNECTION IS ESSENTIAL. DO NOT ALLOW ANY TAMPERING OR ADJUSTMENT OF ANY CONTROL OR WIRING. THE UNIT IS FACTORY SET. ADJUSTING ANY INTERNAL COMPONENT CAN VOID THE WARRANTY.

All 208-220-240 and 480 volt units will have three terminal block sections, “L1-L2-L3”, for use with either 3wire 3-phase or 2-wire, single-phase, 50 or 60 Hz. All 380V and 415V units will have four terminal block sections, “L1-L2-L3-N,” for use with European style 4-wire 3-phase with neutral.

Step 4: Optional Floor Drain

The drain valve is 1/2" NPT. Position the unit near, but not on top of, an open floor drain. Allow at least a 1" air gap.

DO NOT directly plumb to the unit unless you also install an “open funnel” downstream of this connection in the drain system. The “open funnel” is intended to eliminate any water from entering the steamer because of a blocked drain. Any connection that allows the build-up of back pressure in the unit (such as a reduction in pipe size to a line smaller than 1/2"or a 90 degree angle in the line prior to the “open funnel” drain discharge point) may cause personal or property damage and will therefore void the warranty. (See Figure 3.)

Figure 3

Step 5: Check Installation

The following items should be checked within the first 30 days of operation by a qualified service technician.

1. Check doors for proper alignment.

2. Ensure proper opening and closing of doors.

3. Open door and remove cavity bottom cover, if present.

4. Ensure that the light comes on when lever is set to the “ON” position.

5. Pour approximately 2 gallons of water into trough, ensuring that the cavity bottom is covered.

6. An audible “click” should be heard when the door switch actuator rod is depressed and held. This indicates proper functioning of the contactor as it closes. Release rod.

7. Depress and hold the door switch for 2 minutes. The contactor should close when the switch is first depressed and stay closed during this period.

8. Close the door and wait approximately 12 minutes until the contactor opens, indicating the unit has reached operating temperature.

• For eggs cooked in the shell, adding salt to the cooking water increases cooking efficiency and decreases cooking time. If the egg cracks, the white is cooked at the crack and is sealed right away.

• To avoid green yolk (which is a deposit of iron sulfide) chill the eggs immediately after removing from the steamer by plunging them into a cold water bath (preferably containing ice).

• A quick and easy way to cook eggs for a salad mixture is to crack them directly into a solid steam table pan which has been lightly coated with salad oil. Do not mix. Steam until they are hard cooked. Remove and chop as you would for egg salad. The job of peeling is eliminated.

• Transfer steamed hot chicken to deep pan, cover with Cacciatore Sauce and finish in oven. Bake 20 to 30 minutes. May be held on steam table.

• Chicken, sausage, and/or fish may be browned in Infra-Red or Radiant Broiler after steaming by brushing with melted margarine mixed with salad oil to give a golden brown color.

• Save juices from steamed chicken or turkey to make soups, sauces, or casserole dishes.

• Chicken may be steamed in advance and refrigerated for next day’s use. Be sure to bring product back to 180°F before serving.

• Save the juice from the corned beef. After the cabbage has been steamed, place it in a solid pan and add the juice for flavoring and holding on a steam table.

• Steaming brisket is a definite time saver. Boiling in water takes 40 to 50 minutes per pound. Using the Simple Steam can save 50% in cooking time.

• Cabbage, when steamed, retains its color and wedge identity. It will not break apart as it does when boiled in an open pot.

• When removing items prepared in a perforated pan, place a solid pan underneath the perforated pan with the cooked food in order to prevent dripping on the floor.

• The Simple Steam is designed to accept standard 12 x 20 pans. Fractional size pans and dishes can be used as well with the optional perforated shelf.

• For stirring, the pan does not have to be removed from the steamer. Pull pan 1/3 way out of the cavity and the entire surface is accessible.

• The door may be opened at any time during operation to remove or add food.

LEANING

Southbend equipment is constructed with the best quality materials and is designed to provide durable service when properly maintained. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in good condition and cleaned daily. Naturally, the frequency and extent of cleaning depends on the amount and degree of usage.

Following daily and more extensive periodic maintenance procedures will increase the life of your equipment. Climatic conditions (i.e., salt air, seasonings, and water quality) may result in the need for more thorough and more frequent cleaning in order to keep equipment performing at optimal levels.

OUNTERTOP STEAMERS

LEANING

WARNING: BURN HAZARD

For proper and safe operation, this steamer must be cleaned daily as described in this manual.

Failure to do so could result in serious injury or damage.

Drains must be kept clean and clear of debris.

WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD

DO NOT GET WATER IN THE CONTROLS.

This could result in expensive repairs and/or electrical shock.

De-energize all power to equipment before cleaning the equipment.

DAILY CLEANING

1. Turn lever to the “OFF” position.

2. Remove pan guides.

3. Clean all interior surfaces with soap, water, and a non-metallic pad. Occasional use of a deliming solution such as Lime-A-Way is recommended. RINSE THOROUGHLY WITH CLEAN WATER.

4. Ensure drain opening is clear.

5. Clean drain cover.

6. Replace pan guides.

7. Leave the door open at night after cleaning to prolong the life of the gasket.

PERIODIC CLEANING

• If lime or mineral deposit starts to build up in the interior, clean the unit by using Southbend “descaler” or other non-caustic deliming solution. Follow manufacturer’s recommended procedures. Thoroughly rinse out unit with clean water.

CLEANING

• To remove normal dirt, grease, or product residue from stainless steel, use ordinary soap and water applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Never use vinegar or any corrosive cleaner.

• Occasionally drain rear water box. To remove grease and food splatter or condensed vapors that have baked on the equipment, apply cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines on the metal. Rubbing cleanser as gently as possible in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits which do not respond to the above procedure can usually be removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL, as any

particles left on the surface will rust and further spoil the appearance of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING PAD, SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS. Surfaces which are marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also increases the possibility of corrosive attack. Refinishing may then be required.

ODEL

EZ-3 & EZ-5 C

OUNTERTOP STEAMERS

SEMIANNUAL CLEANING

At least twice a year, have your Southbend Authorized Service Agency or another qualified service technician clean and adjust the unit for maximum performance. Semiannual cleaning should include the following:

1. Remove rear cover.

2. Place a (1) gallon container under the water seal box drain valve (see Figure 18 on page 29).

3. Open drain valve, and close valve when box is finished draining.

4. Add one gallon of deliming solution to the trough above the door.

5. Add two gallons of deliming solution through the door into the cavity

6. Turn unit on, let run for 30 minutes.

7. Turn unit off and drain all solution from the cavity.

8. Drain solution from water seal box as in steps 2 and 3.

9. Fill unit with clean water THROUGH THE TROUGH and drain. Repeat 2 times.

Consult the Southbend Authorized Parts/Service Distributor list for the Authorized Service Representative in your area or contact Southbend at 1-800-348-2558 for this information.
